https://wordpress.org/plugins/press-this https://github.com/WordPress/press-this/releases/tag/1.1.1 – “Restored Bookmarklet” (that’s what the Git tag note says) https://github.com/WordPress/press-this/releases/tag/1.1.0 – “Restored Bookmarklet” (that’s what the Git tag note says) https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-transition-1-1-0-1-1-1-makes-me-happy-again/ – I posted this to express my gratitude (not sure, this will help anybody) WordPress 4.9 removed the bookmarklet functionality of “Press This“. That caused a lot of frustration and anger and fuzz. That’s…

my WordPress back-up system (“BackWPup”) gets triggered 2 or 3 times for a single daily back-up job
https://wordpress.org/plugins/backwpup/ https://backwpup.com/docs/starting-backup-job-immediately-or-scheduled/ So far I have been using the “WordPress cron” approach. I have no idea, why the problem described above happens. But it confuses me a lot. Maybe I am going to try the WP-CLI approach next.

in the middle of upgrading my WordPress installation I exceeded my disk quota and I only saw “HTTP ERROR 500” from then on
I got my friendly provider to increase my disk quota by “a little” for a couple of days – actually I was granted 300M for like 3 days https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/how-to-fix-the-500-internal-server-error-on-your-wordpress-website – following this web page I moved the wp-admin and wp-includes from a fresh version of WordPress to my installation directory (actually after moving my old ones…

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/232436/how-do-i-remove-uncategorized-from-posts-with-more-than-1-category A couple of months ago I had a bad plugin installed for a couple of days, and it deliberately removed categories from my posted articles.

WordPress: Updating Plugin BackWPup (3.4.0 -> 3.4.1) – bad update problem
An error occurred while updating BackWPup: Could not copy file. backwpup/vendor/Guzzle/Plugin/Cache/CachePlugin.php The file exists and I have no idea, why this error message gets shown. Actually various files below backwpup/vendor/Guzzle/Plugin are concerned. Update: That happened, because I exceeded my disk quota.

AdBlock / Chrome / WordPress: incorrect blocking
https://getAdBlock.com I deeply enjoy using AdBlock. I can’t stand all the blinking and distracting ads around the information I want or need to grasp. Once in a while I have to face a phenomenon caused by one of the rules in one of the filtering lists used by AdBlock. And I can’t tell which one,…

WordPress plugin “Duplicate Post”
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-post/ Sometimes I update an article after quite some while and it does not get “published” again, does not gain attention etc, but duplicating it (quite likely also truncating it a little) solves the problem. Sometimes I might even remove the original afterwards. Yes, being able to get the original re-published might serve this purpose.…
